“In the world you will have trouble, but take courage, I have conquered the world."~ John 16:33What do I do when I feel like giving up?Is God present even when things feel hopeless?Is it up to me to solve the problems in the world around me?In Episode 93 of This Whole Life, Pat and Kenna tackle the challenge of staying sane and spiritually grounded in a world that feels increasingly divided, chaotic, and hopeless. The episode delves into the heavy realities facing our local communities and the broader world—addressing violence, division, and the toll of recent tragedies. Drawing on their backgrounds in faith, therapy, and family life, Pat and Kenna explore the tension between seeking justice and maintaining inner peace, as well as the struggle to trust and engage one another amid strong differences. They offer practical reflections on discerning what is in our control, the importance of empathy, and finding peace rooted in relationship with God rather than public approval.

In this special episode, Valeria revisits some of her most powerful and revealing conversations with iconic women in modeling - going beyond the runway & behind the camera to explore identity, resilience, motherhood, and the experiences that shaped who they are today. Kelsey Merritt opens up about growing up in the Philippines with a strict mother, navigating the modeling industry as a biracial woman, and how her immigrant family values gave her thick skin. Next, Jasmine Tookes reflects on being raised by a young single mother, always knowing she wanted to be a model, and building confidence in an industry where she was often the only Black woman in the room. Finally, Miranda Kerr joins Valeria for a deeply honest conversation about life after Victoria's Secret. Her motherhood journey - as a mom of four boys, miscarriage, breastfeeding, aging, and more. Miranda shares how her priorities have shifted and tells us more about her brand, KORA Organics. Together, these conversations peel back the layers behind globally recognized faces to reveal the real women underneath - their values, doubts, lessons, and quiet strength.

In this moving episode of Inside ArtScroll, Rabbi Shlomo Landau sits down with Rabbi Zalmen Schmukler to explore I'm Not Alone, the newly released work by Riva Pomerantz. The conversation centers on the life and inner world of Rabbi Schmukler's mother, Cyla — a woman whose quiet strength, faith, and resilience left a lasting imprint on her family and all who knew her. Through a son's perspective, listeners gain a deeply personal window into the story behind the book and the values it seeks to preserve. As Rabbi Schmukler reflects on his mother's journey, the discussion touches on themes of emunah, perseverance, and the often-unseen heroism of everyday Jewish life. I'm Not Alone emerges not only as a tribute to one remarkable woman, but as a source of chizuk for anyone seeking connection, meaning, and the reassurance that even in life's most challenging moments, we are never truly alone.
Faith does not require full understanding. It requires trust.In this final sermon of the Not Alone series, John Gunter reflects on Psalm 131 and the posture of quiet, humble trust before God. Life often leaves us with unanswered questions and unresolved tension. Scripture does not promise clarity in every season, but it does promise God's presence.This message calls listeners to release pride, ambition, and the burden of control. Trust is not passivity. It is an active choice to place our lives in the hands of a faithful God who sees what we cannot and works in ways we do not expect.Key Themes:Letting go of the need to control outcomesLearning to quiet the soul in God's presenceTrusting God when clarity is missingResting in the promises of a faithful Lord

If you feel lonely even when you're not alone, this episode will help you understand why. In The Loneliness of Covert Narcissism: Why You Feel Invisible Even When You're Not Alone, we explore emotional invisibility, the quiet isolation that happens in covert narcissistic relationships, and why being truly seen can feel so rare—and so deeply relieving. Many survivors describe the loneliest place as sitting beside their partner, realizing they are not truly known. In this episode, we talk about why your words may have never landed, why small moments—like circular arguments, silent treatments, or everyday interactions—can leave you questioning your reality, and why hearing someone else say “I thought I was the only one” can bring such powerful relief. This is a reassurance-focused episode designed to help you feel seen, understood, and grounded in the truth that your need for connection is normal and human.

Faith Horizons | Discovering the kingdom of God in Kansas City One Conversation at a Time
Send us a textWe got the opportunity to talk with Renae Kitchin of Found and Woven. Why should you listen to this episode? Because we're talking about a wound that touches 1 in 4 and yet is almost never named out loud in church. With an estimated 76 million abortions worldwide each year, countless women and men sit in our pews carrying years—even decades—of hidden grief, shame, and trauma. After over 20 years in this field, Found and Woven has created a brand‑new, Christ-centered curriculum called “Not Alone” to walk people from “my story ended with abortion” to “my story is being redeemed.” In this conversation you'll hear:How abortion decisions often flow from layers of earlier pain, abuse, and abandonment.Why so many women (and men) are told it's “no big deal,” then left alone with the falloutWhat changes when churches finally acknowledge the one-in-four in their congregationsHow “Not Alone” was shaped by decades of ministry and real stories, not theoryTestimonies of people rediscovering identity, creativity, and hope in ChristIf you're a pastor, ministry leader, or simply someone who cares about the hidden hurt in the body of Christ, this episode will give you language, vision, and a practical path toward real healing.Website:Support Lives Changed | Volunteer | Get the New Book for Yourself or Your Churchhttps://foundandwoven.com/Music:Intro and Outro Music by Jerry Abahhttps://youtu.be/NJFQvXk36oMSupport the show

Vivian Tu, aka Your Rich BFF, is back on Not Alone to talk about her new book, Well Endowed, and what it really means to build a life that's financially aligned, intentional, and values-driven. In this conversation, Valeria and Vivian break down the idea of “optimization” in everyday life, from money habits shaped by childhood lessons (including her now-famous Chinese buffet analogy) to understanding your personal value system and learning how to resist the constant pull of targeted marketing. They dive into media literacy, why spending money feels easier than ever, and how to decide what's truly worth it.

Do you feel heavier, more tired, or spiritually foggy during the darker winter months? Let's talk honestly about Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), what's actually happening in your body, how reduced light affects your emotions and motivation, and why this struggle doesn't mean your faith is weak. Seasonal Affective Disorder doesn't always announce itself clearly. For many women, it shows up quietly, through lower energy, emotional heaviness, irritability, foggy thinking, or a sense of spiritual distance they can't quite explain. In this episode, I wanted to make this real and human by sharing stories from three women, Chrissie, Melody, and Beth, whose experiences reveal how differently Seasonal Affective Disorder can affect emotions, energy, and faith, especially in darker seasons. This conversation isn't about diagnosing yourself or forcing solutions. It's about understanding what darkness does to the body and nervous system, and how God meets us with compassion instead of shame. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: [00:00] Why Seasonal Affective Disorder Is Real and Why It Affects So Many Women [04:00] What Is Seasonal Affective Disorder and How Does Reduced Light Impact Emotions and Energy? [08:00] Why Does Winter Darkness Affect Motivation, Mood, and Spiritual Clarity? [12:00] How Different Women Experience SAD in Unique Emotional and Physical Ways [17:00] Why Experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder Doesn't Mean Your Faith Is Weak [18:00] How Can SAD Be Reframed as a “Wilderness Season” Instead of a Personal Failure? [22:00] How God Uses Darker Seasons to Invite Deeper Awareness and Growth [23:00] Using the A.D.D. Model to Confidently Manage Emotions During SAD [28:00] What Practical Supports Help the Body and Nervous System During SAD?

Life sometimes pauses. Church may cancel. Plans shift. But God does not.In this Week 4 message from the Not Alone series, John Gunter delivers a timely reminder from his office during a winter storm. Drawing from passages like John 14, Romans 8, and Psalm 46, this sermon encourages listeners to trust in the presence of God when things feel uncertain, disconnected, or overwhelming. Even in seasons of isolation, God is still faithful, still close, and still working in our lives.Key Points:God's promises do not pause with our circumstancesThe Spirit intercedes for us even when we cannot find the wordsGod's presence gives us peace, even when outcomes are uncertainWe are never abandoned, never alone
In this episode of Not Alone, Valeria sits down with one of the original social media influencers and SAME founder & CEO Shea Marie, for a candid conversation about evolution, personally, publicly, and professionally. Shea opens up about entering a new season of life, from ringing in the New Year in Aspen and sharing her engagement story to navigating what it really means to keep a relationship both public and protected. Together, they talk about dating in the spotlight, why Shea has intentionally chosen to share less online, and how her relationship with the internet has changed over time. Shea reflects on her early move to LA, her first tough job in PR, and the lessons that ultimately led her to start blogging at a time when influencers weren't taken seriously. She dives into the realities of being an OG in the space, from doing unpaid campaigns and being underestimated, to learning how to separate herself as a creator from the brand she built. Shea also talks about the journey of building and scaling SAME, what the future holds for the brand, and the one belief she had to unlearn along the way. This episode is about growth, boundaries, and building something that lasts.

You were never asked to be strong enough. You were asked to trust the One who is.In this third message in the Not Alone series, John Gunter teaches what it means to live with the Spirit of God. We are not called to control everything or act like we have all the answers. Instead, we are invited to lean fully into God's presence, admit our need, and allow His Spirit to intercede when we are weak, tired, or unsure what to pray.Key Themes:The Spirit prays for us when we cannot find the words (Romans 8)God's power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12)Even youths grow weary, but those who wait on the Lord renew their strength (Isaiah 40)We do not have to be alone, and we do not have to pretend to be strong
In this special episode of Not Alone, Gary and Valeria sit down with beloved creator and entrepreneur Camila Coelho and her husband Icaro - who, for the first time ever, steps up to the mic beside her. The four of them talk about bonding during their trip to Brazil, celebrating Carnival, what it's really like being the husband behind a social media powerhouse, and the early days of Camila's YouTube career when she had no idea what she was doing. Camila and Icaro share the highs and growing pains of becoming business partners, from figuring out their roles to navigating the pressure that success places on their relationship. The conversation goes deep on identity shifts, the messy days when you don't see eye to eye, and why being recognized for the work you do, even behind-the-scenes, matters. Plus, how they stay grounded in gratitude, and their hopes for the future as entrepreneurs and parents raising a son in the social media age.

From the quiet ache of childhood loneliness to the vast cosmic revelations of his true origin, James Kelly shares an extraordinary and deeply personal journey through a life shaped by the stars. You're Not Alone is the raw and powerful account of a man who has lived with the unshakable truth that he was abducted by beings not of this Earth—and that he is, in truth, an Arcturian star seed child. With unwavering honesty, James recounts the struggles of growing up isolated, misunderstood, and burdened with memories few would believe. Through pain, awakening, and spiritual transformation, he begins to piece together a larger truth: that he is not alone—and neither are you. This book is a beacon for all who have felt out of place in this world, who've wrestled with visions, dreams, or memories they couldn't explain. It is a message of hope, connection, and higher purpose—a reminder that there is light beyond the veil, and that the universe has always been listening.BioJames Kelly has faced extraordinary and life-altering experiences with alien abductions, struggles with mental health, and the profound challenges of keeping his encounters secret. His journey took a dark turn when he nearly ended his own life, but with the support of his wife, Holly, and his connection to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), he found a path toward healing and understanding.Through his encounters with various extraterrestrial beings—including terrifying abductions by hostile entities on the dark side of the moon and life-saving interventions from benevolent forces—James has gained unique insight into the profound mysteries of the universe. His story highlights the emotional and psychological toll of these experiences and the strength it takes to confront them.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G3NVZMK9?https://www.authorjameskellybooks.com/ https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, we're rolling out some of Gary's most iconic moments on Not Alone with a compilation of his most memorable conversations. We're starting with the story of how Gary and Valeria's age gap shaped their relationship from day one, how their mothers reacted, the moment Gary asked for Valeria's hand in marriage. Then, we shift into a raw and revealing conversation about infidelity, why men cheat, the role of emotional maturity, the importance of communication, and why working on yourself is essential to building a lasting relationship. Finally, we dive into marriage and money: power dynamics, childhood beliefs around wealth, business wins and losses, spending freedoms in marriage, and the decisions that shaped their future together. This is the ultimate “Gary Edition,” full of vulnerability, humor, and the kind of perspective you can only get from Mr. Lipovetsky.

Have you ever looked around your life and thought, “I can't keep living like this, but I don't know how to change?” You're not alone—and this episode is proof. Today, we're pulling back the curtain on real-life transformation as three courageous women—Rhonda, Jill, and Christine—share how the Empowered to Change program became the turning point in their painful, confusing, and lonely journeys. With raw honesty, these women recount where they began: stuck, afraid, unsure of who they were. And where they are now? Confident, courageous, and deeply rooted in Christ. You'll hear how they found clarity, community, and tools to step into the light—and how you can too. Key Takeaways You're Not Alone in the Fog Each woman entered Empowered to Change feeling lost and overwhelmed. Christine didn't even know her favorite color. Rhonda couldn't say she was a woman—she still saw herself as a little girl trying to manage everyone around her. Jill held her head low, gripped by shame. But God met them in their confusion, and they discovered they didn't have to walk alone. Identity Reclaimed Through Clarity and Courage Empowered to Change helped these women strip away the lies that kept them small and silent. As they did the internal work of self-awareness, self-reflection, and self-correction, their true God-given identities began to surface. Rhonda said it best: “I was fearfully dependent. Now I am confidently interdependent—me, God, and the other person.” Tools That Equip You for Real Life These women didn't just gain insight—they learned practical tools that changed the way they engaged with their relationships. Whether it was rehearsing hard conversations in the mirror, using healthy boundaries, or naming their emotions for the first time, they began to walk in freedom. “I didn't have a ‘no.' Now I can say ‘no' and mean it,” Rhonda shared. The Power of Safe Sisterhood A pivotal part of their growth? Community. These women found safety, support, and spiritual sisterhood within their group—and five years later, they're still walking together. They laugh, pray, and celebrate each other's wins and struggles. The healing they experienced made room for deep, lasting connection. Healing Is Possible—And Worth the Risk Perhaps the most powerful transformation was internal. Jill no longer suffers from migraines that once plagued her during her emotional turmoil. Christine now lives empowered and on mission. And Rhonda walks in the strength and courage she found in God. Their stories remind us that healing takes brave steps—but the reward is wholeness, freedom, and a deeper relationship with Christ. Personal Invitation If you heard yourself in these women's stories—if you're in that place of confusion, fear, or longing to rediscover who you are—Empowered to Change might be your next brave step. This Christ-centered coaching experience helps you: Clarify your identity in Christ Develop tools to navigate destructive patterns Build courage, set boundaries, and find your voice Walk in community with other women who truly get it Learn more and register here: https://www.leslievernick.com/growth
Reality, Grief, and Hope: Our Posture of Lament challenges us to thoughtfully examine the intersection of faith and politics, exploring the role of the church in society amidst cultural challenges. From some of the greats (Walter Brueggemann and D Willy), we're able to map out a posture to hold in these time. From naming the reality we see around us, lamenting and grieving what we've seen and living in the hope of what's to come. In this episode of the Voxology Podcast, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford unpack the complexities of Christian nationalism, drawing parallels between biblical prophetic critiques and modern-day issues. Through a lens of cruciformity, they discuss how the teachings of Jesus call us to navigate cultural issues with humility, justice, and critical thinking. The hosts engage in an honest conversation about the importance of lament, naming uncomfortable truths, and pursuing hope in a divided world. From the misuse of religious rhetoric to the church's prophetic responsibility, this episode invites listeners to wrestle with questions of faith, politics, and the transformative power of Jesus' example. As cultural norms shift, how can Christians embody the way of Christ without compromising integrity and compassion? Join this deep dive into theology, justice, and the pressing challenges of our time. Feel free to email in questions, engage the conversation on Facebook and Instagram, or share your thoughts as we navigate these topics together. Let's pursue meaningful dialogue and learn from diverse perspectives as we reflect on what it means to follow Jesus in today's world.
